NSF FUEL Engine in Louisiana - Regional Innovation Engines | NSF - U.S. National Science Foundation NSF FUEL Engine in Louisiana The NSF FUEL Engine in Louisiana is led by Louisiana State University and spearheaded by a coalition named the Future Use of Energy in Louisiana (FUEL) that has the support of more than 53 partners that include business and industry, state and local agencies, and post-secondary institutions.
This ecosystem aims to enable energy expansion for the state by advancing research and commercialization efforts in areas including carbon management, the use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel, and carbon dioxide as a feedstock. Addressing a critical U.S. need: Louisiana is currently a global leader in energy production and petrochemical manufacturing due to the strong presence of the hydrocarbon industry in the state.
Louisiana has decreased emissions of CO 2 at a rate similar to the overall U.S. economy (-13% versus -15. 8% since 2000). The U.S. is among the few major energy exporting countries that have reduced CO 2 emissions since 2010.
The challenge in Louisiana and the U.S. as a whole is how to maintain this competitive advantage in a changing global energy market that increasingly favors suppliers that are able to better manage and lower carbon emissions.
Because of this challenge, researchers, industry partners and public sector partners in the state are driving transformative efforts to enable an energy expansion for the state, while the nation and world work to meet aggressive goals to increase energy utilization while managing carbon emissions. This NSF Engine has identified critical research and development topic areas that must be advanced to drive energy innovations.
It will pursue those goals while cultivating an innovative ecosystem of tech companies that support the nation's expansion for energy, while also driving economic growth through job creation and training opportunities in the energy sector. Year 1 impacts: Accelerating innovation.
The NSF FUEL Engine s working with Startup Prize to create an Energy Startup Prize designed to catalyze energy innovation startups through education, networking, consulting and expert assessment. One recent pitch competition winner, Encore CO 2, is developing an electrolyzer technology that recycles CO 2 to create carbon-based products like liquid fuels, polymers and proteins.
One NSF Engine partner, Nicholls State University, has researchers working with industry partner PalmStar Energy to investigate the anaerobic digestion of sugarcane bagasse, a common agricultural residue in Louisiana, to produce hydrogen and methane. And another partner university, Louisiana Tech University, is working with Grambling and BB&M LLC to develop low-carbon geopolymers as an alternative to cement for oil and gas wells.
Attracting additional investment : In support of the NSF FUEL Engine , Louisiana Economic Development has agreed to provide a match to the federal grant awarded to LSU, up to $67. 5 million. This investment will help create new jobs, new businesses and other support activities in the energy sector, as well as generate spin-off jobs and service companies in the sector.
This array of jobs will help Louisiana's energy workforce, allowing workers to increase their skill levels and earnings. This investment will help facilitate the academic partners ability to prepare students to become leaders and entrepreneurs ready to contribute to the success of Louisiana businesses.
Building partnerships : The NSF FUEL Engine is partnering with Southern University, the Louisiana Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the Greater Baton Rouge Industrial Alliance and the Louisiana National Guard and Veterans Affairs to launch a series of quarterly community engagement meetings targeted for service members, faith leaders and industry workers.
These meetings will inform stakeholders regarding trends in the energy sector and startup support to help small businesses engage in the sector. Expanding and training the future workforce. ExxonMobil is expanding the STEM Energy Professional Development program to rural school districts in Southwest Louisiana.
The Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources and Louisiana Arts and Science Museum are partnering to host Kids' Energy Day and a free summer teachers' workshop for fourth and fifth-grade public school teachers to increase energy literacy in Louisiana classrooms. Growing the local economy: The NSF FUEL Engine awarded nearly $900,000 in proof-of-concept investments to Louisiana-based companies and researchers.
This investment provides capital to early-stage companies using non-diluted funds that position them to receive professional funding to accelerate success. Lead organization: Louisiana State University. Region of service: Louisiana (entire state).
Key technology areas Advanced energy and industrial efficiency technologies, advanced materials, artificial intelligence, disaster prevention and mitigation, robotics and advanced manufacturing.
According to the current listing, eligibility includes: Universities, industry partners, government entities, nonprofits, civic organizations, and other stakeholders in Louisiana focused on energy transition. Confirm the full requirements in the official notice before applying.

Economics of AI Fellowship is sponsored by Stripe. The fellowship supports foundational academic research in the economics of AI, an area currently understudied despite rapid technical progress in artificial intelligence. Fellows receive a baseline grant, opportunities to attend conferences with leading economists and technologists, and potential access to unique data via Stripe and its customers.
The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
Announced August 4, 2026, NSF 26-513 will fund up to 10 State and Regional AI Infrastructure Hubs at $4-12M each over five years. It is a cooperative-agreement, public-private consortium model designed to put frontier compute in the hands of researchers outside the elite institutions. Here is how the program is structured, who can lead, and how to build a competitive consortium before the November 4 deadline.

AI Forge is a jointly governed, university-led venture funding interpretability, control, and adversarial robustness in one-year Project Ventures — here's how the 15 challenges, the CAISI tie, and the nonprofit administrator reshape who gets funded.
Read articleIn January 2026, DOE Policy Flash PF-2026-30 wiped out every 15% and 10% indirect cost cap the administration had imposed in 2025 — because H.R. 6938 ordered it to. The same law froze indirect policy at NSF, Commerce and NASA. But OMB's sweeping new grants rule quietly reopens the fight through the back door. Here is what changed, what money recipients can claw back, and how to protect your indirect recovery going forward.
